Tricyrtis formosana 'Autumn Glow'
Tricyrtis formosana 'Autumn Glow', commonly known as Toad Lily, brightens shaded garden areas with its striking appearance. This perennial features large green leaves edged with a wide, yellow-green border, providing visual interest even before its blooms emerge. The creamy, star-shaped flowers are heavily freckled and blushed with purple, offering a unique focal point in late summer to early fall when many shade gardens lack color. It thrives in dappled shade and prefers consistently moist, slightly acidic, organically rich soil. These plants are also valued as excellent cut flowers, making them a versatile addition to the garden.
